Welcome to the Camborne School of Mines Association

The Camborne School of Mines Association was formed for all former students of the School and is
an independent, self-governing and entirely self-financing organisation.

Browse through the links to the left for information on CSM Association related events within the UK
and around the world, as well as contacts for Association members, Job Vacancies, Merchandise
available for purchase, and much more.

Former students have traditionally had very close links with each other and with CSM. Sport has
always played a very important part of the life of the School. The CSM RFC and CSM AFC have
each celebrated their Centenary years and are amongst the oldest football clubs in the UK. The
major social functions throughout the year are the 'Barrel Match' where current students play past
students at rugby, soccer, hockey and squash and the 'Bottle Match' where CSM plays its old
adversary, the Royal School of Mines (RSM) for a black, battered, metal bottle.
